opinions on list of old firearms i can aquire cheap!

[darkwang]

hey guys I have here a list of firearms a friend of a friend wants to get rid of. I guess they just sit and he is moving. They were his grandfathers. Ive a done a little research but wanted to see what you guys might have to say about any particular models. This would be assuming maybe $50 max each for most. I understand how vague this list is at this time. No serials either. Thanks so much for any words of advice, price, help, etc!!!

* Eastern Arms single barrel 12g shotgun

* Montgomery Ward Hercules single barrel 16g shotgun

* J.C. Higgins/Sears Model 583.10 single barrel 12g shotgun

* Glenfield model 25 (Marlin 80c or 780?) .22lr

* Western field Model 37 (Mossberg 30,45a, 47?) .22lr

* WWII Japanese rifle(Arisaka?) and sword

*German WWII pistol with leather holster(if he can find it ) he wrote a note that says 22 clip, but dont know what that means and dont think he is correct. ( he has zero knowledge of firearms)

It would be hard for me to turn down any firearm for $50. It would have to be a real piece of junk. I say go for it. Get them in working order, shoot them, and whatever you don't like get rid of.

Buy them all!

This! If you end up with the Arisaka PM me I'm a sucker for WWII bolt-action rifles, and the sword would be nifty too.

well I doubt the guy is dumb enough to part with the arisaka, sword or luger or $50 , but might still be able to get them cheap! the rest however I was planning on offering $50 max each and do strongly feel he will take it. Good to know you all think that would be good price if I can get it!! Makes me feel more confident in spending a little cash for a lot of firearm.

Buy them all!

Heck yeah!

I was not lucky enough to inherit any firearms from my grandfathers , but if I did, you can bet they would be priceless to me. I am dumbfounded how people can inherit things from loved ones then sell them off without batting an eye.

That being said buy every last one of them. If this person is a good friend of yours , hang on to them. Maybe one day he will rethink things and ask to buy them back.

German pistol? Then Luger? with .22 "clip" (magazine)? Sounds like a post WW2 reproduction pistol?

That's hard advice to ignore, and hard to take, too!

The Glenfield 25 is a nice little bolt action rifle (it's the 925 now with a few mods). I'd jump all over that for $50, but as stated above I'd buy them all.

He is not a close friend. Ive never actually met him, just know him through family member who works with him. Makes that decision easier. I should be able to meet him soon! I cant wait and hope for the best. I am excited to maybe get a few steals. Originally I was thinking how cool it would be to flip them, but now ....... seem like some nice shooters that I would just hold on to! Thanks everyone for the help. Ill update when deal done. maybe pics for opinions, appraisal too! thanks!

Check gunbroker for prices. Also if the sword is Jap from WWII with documentation it may be very valuable. Buy it all.

 

[spec4]

Dream deal! Buy them all.

Arisaka alone is worth its weight in gold, especially if it saw action.
